- b. Actions have been identified and have been or will be taken with respect to (1) managing the effects of aging during the period of extended operation on the functionality of structures and components that have been identified to require review under 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1), and (2) time-limited aging analyses that have been identified to require review under 10 CFR 54.21(c), such that there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by this renewed license will continue to be conducted in accordance with the current licensing basis, as defined in 10 CFR 54.3, for Turkey Point Unit 4, and that any changes made to the current licensing basis in order to comply with 10 CFR 54.29(a) are in accord with the Act and the Commissions regulations;
- c. The facility will operate in conformity with the application, as amended, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission;
- d. There is reasonable assurance (i) that the facility can be operated at steady state power levels up to 2300 megawatts thermal in accordance with this renewed operating license without endangering the health and safety of the public, and (ii) that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Commission;
- e. Florida Power and Light Company is technically and financially qualified to engage in the activities authorized by this renewed operating license in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission; Renewed License No. DPR-41
- f. The applicable provisions of 10 CFR Part 140 have been satisfied;
- g. The renewal of this operating license will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and
- h. After weighing the environmental, economic, technical and other benefits of the facility against environmental costs and considering available alternatives, the issuance of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-41 is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Commissions regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.
On the basis of the foregoing findings regarding this facility, Facility Operating License No.
